Part 2: Regional CRE Prevention

Regions with Few CRE Identified

In regions where CRE have been identified but cases remain uncommon, an aggressive approach to prevention
is needed to prevent further transmission and widespread emergence of CRE. This will require increased prevention
efforts targeting select facilities in the region where CRE are found.

Includes all acute care facilities and long-term care facilities that provide medical or nursing care
(e.g, long-term acute care hospitals and skilled nursing facilities). Refer to the text for more details.
